I have googled this but cannot find an answer, except for a mention of memory alpha, which a subsequent search didn't find what I was looking for either.
I have got to the episode in tng (birthright) where the enterprise docks at ds9. I decided to watch the first episode of ds9 as I was aware that it starts at some point in tng season 6, but the first episode actually pre-dates birthright and goes quite a long time back into the past, when picard was assimilated by the borg and attacked the federation.
My question is this, what is the chronological order to watch the episodes in? (not air dates) but in order of what date the events took place in.

"Emissary" premiered in January of 1993 during a TNG hiatus following "Chain of Command, Part 2." You could just check the airdates for the rest of the episodes and compare them to TNG airdates. That's as close to a definitive answer as is possible.

With regards to the TNG movies, you can also incorporate them into a 'concurrent' DS9/TNG watch-through in the following fashion:
Generations following Meridian in DS9 S3
Insurrection following Covenant in DS9 S7
Nemesis following What You Leave Behind in DS9 S7 (yes, I put it here because Worf's presence in both TNG and DS9 makes his appearance in Nemesis a natural follow-up to What You Leave Behind even though there are 2 years between the events of WYLB and Nemesis, and you don't really need to know who Janeway is in order to appreciate her cameo)
